Apple announced new junk fees in the EU that do nothing to open up the mobile app ecosystem to competition, as required by Digital Market Act.
Apple will charge:<br>• 20% fee on alternative in-app payment options<br>• 15% fee on links to make purchases outside apps<br>• 5% Core Technology Commission on payments made in apps downloaded from alternative stores or the web
The law makes it clear that Apple must allow developers to offer link outs to the web for purchases “free of charge” and has to allow “effective use” of competing stores. Apple’s terms deliberately violate the Digital Markets Act. If the Commission accepts the terms and drops their ongoing enforcement actions, the law will become meaningless and consumers and developers will not experience the benefits it was designed to provide.
